Fish Planted In Yankee Reservoir By Local Sportsmen Club

Between 250 and 4000 fish, many legally sized, were planted in Yankee Reservoir last Sunday by Parawah Gun and Red Club members. They originated from Cedar City Sportsmen's Club rearing paths at Enoch and were ferried up in cans and barrels on a truck. The group cleared a new road section to reach the site, faced snow on the return trip, and weathered a near accident when Saunders Clark’s car slid off a snow bank but caused no injuries. The incident involved several club members, the car damage ran about $100, and the crew returned safely with the reservoir's water level still below the previous peak.
